There's just something about weddings and the word 'weddings' this year. You know how sometimes certain things happen, and they all happen together as if it's related? Like how you just ate a Big Mac and then your friend calls you to ask if you'd like to have a Big Mac with him and later when you get home you find Big Mac wrappers all over the place. Well, along those lines, you get my drift.
I got news that two friends are getting married this year, one week after the other. Both had really romantic/ funny (however way you look at it) proposals to tell of, so really melt-heart-sweet-story to hear of. On top of that, my very close cousin is getting married in two weeks time, and since we're close, I'm roped into a lot of preparations. If that is not enough weddings to hear of, something else within this whole wedding theme happened.
In this case, no one is really getting married, yet the word Holy Matrimony sparked a whole new chapter. My friend had been teasing a (girl) friend of his, pretending to fake a marriage event with her on Facebook. He supposedly had no feelings for the girl (or so he says) but simply enjoyed annoying her. They had their Facebook event guest list and wedding plans including bullock cart transportations, since it is supposed to be done in Malacca. A few more annoyance and irritances (is there such a word?) from him by rubbing in the whole wedding thing, they realised that they both have feelings for each other and are now dating.
It's ironic how just a year ago, the only weddings I come close to knowing are those my parents are attending (their friends' kids wedding), this year this whole wedding thing seems to be popping up every now and then. And to think I am helping to plan for my cousin's own wedding.
Is this a sign I'm growing old? omg.
One of the funniest/scariest things happened today. I was in charge of coming up with the entire booklet for mass, which contains all the readings and vows.. etc. Today, we got it printed with a beautiful cover and went home to read through it. To my horror my cousin shrieked "WHAT'S THIS?"
He spotted one page saying "we humbly pray to you for Paul Poh and Jenny...."
Fyi, my cousin Paul is getting married to his bride Irene Tay. I paled for a moment before asking him "Didn't I ask if you proofread it before we sent for printing?"
Which luckily for me he answered, "Oh, uhmm... yeah but I just scanned through"
Thank God, blame is not totally on me. Wouldn't be forgiven.
Anyhow, I still have to roll up my sleeves and correct FIFTY booklets with my liquid paper and pen.

On a happier note, he showed the DVD video show of his professionally taken photographs. They were so beautiful!! Really elegant with class.. not like some others I've seen very cartoony or cheapskate looking. My cousin and his bride-to-be looked so so so good in the pictures. I want my pix to be taken too! Must start checking out smaller photography packages with the same photographer and makeup-artist.
So this sums up most of the wedding events I know taking place... unless you're getting married too and haven't told me..
#the picture of the wedding booklet cover for some reason can't display the original colours of peach and orange. So don't freak thinking I designed some monster blue thing to pass of as a wedding cover.
